Hello,
Would you kindly explain the "en ferait rougir plus d'un"? I am not sure what the speaker is saying about Damien. Is she implying that Damien has a way on making someone blush (with embarrassment perhaps)?
Merci!

Hi John,
What it means literally is that -
la culture littéraire de Damien ferait rougir plus d'une personne = Damien's literary knowledge would make more than one person blush.
It suggests that this person's knowledge is so extensive that it would embarrass or make others feel inferior in comparison.
It could be translated as -
His literary knowledge would put most people to shame
Bonne Continuation !
